This video was taken by the crew of Expedition 30 on board the International Space Station. The sequence of shots was taken on January 31, 2012 from 05:20:01 to 05:32:04 GMT, on a pass from the Gulf of Mexico, just south of Louisiana, to the North Atlantic Ocean. This video features the eastern half of the United States and Canada at night. The video starts by looking west-northwest towards Dallas and Oklahoma City. The pass continues as the ISS travels northeast over Indianapolis and Chicago. The outline of the Michigan peninsula can be seen, as well as the city of Detroit in southeastern Michigan. The pass continues over southeastern Canada as the Aurora Borealis is seen near the limb of the atmosphere.
